The 2020 presidential sweepstakes is already underway and the message of the Democrat candidates is quite clear: (1) The economy is not good enough; (2) There are too many poor people; (3) That poverty is the fault of the rich; and (4) It’s time to punitively tax the rich to end inequality.

To do that, like most socialist ploys, the Democrat candidates seem intent on inciting class warfare. They will seek to make their voters envious while promising that their envy can be satisfied, not through hard work, but through government power and redistribution.
